ResumoObjective: To analyze the technical conditions for reprocessing of medical products, in the light of service quality and sanitary safety among the users of reprocessed items. Methods: The study presents an evaluation based on multiple case studies collected in the reprocessing facilities of ten public hospitals in the State of Bahia, Brazil. The analysis is referred to five independent variables that influence conditions for reprocessing of medical products. Each of these five variables was considered in three rating levels of quality. Results: Considerable inadequacies were observed for all variables, so that none of the ten observed cases showed adequate technical conditions for reprocessing medical products. Conclusions: We conclude, therefore, that the hospitals considered in this study adopt inadequate practices for reprocessing, which is a problem for hospital care and the regulatory agencies.
